With UGF's, it depends on the flow that you going through it..A lack of flow could be the cause of your problems with it...what pump/powerhead are you running on it? And, as posted above, we need to see you water param's for Ammonia, nitrITE, nitrATE and pH as a minimum..

Do you run a skimmer on the tank?

If there is only very little in the tank, i would get it removed and go for the berlin method ( live rock, sand and skimmer )...What exactly is in there?
